Starting on the 3rd January 2011 until the 2nd February 2011, not one drink of alcohol passed my lips. It was an interesting month. I had attempted numerous times before but the longest I been before was 18 days. After a first weekend of torture, it got a lot easier and I learnt the following from not drinking for a month:
- I spend too much money on alcohol
- I feel much healthier when I don't drink
- I'm more productive and less tired when I don't drink.
- The occasional drink can be good for stress levels
- Not drinking can show someone special a different side to you
- There are not enough places in the evening that encourage non drinking
So in future, I will be drinking more sensibly, as I'm loving the extra money I have :)
